THE CAR-HEATING PROBLEM

The Railroad Commissioners have sent TO
the Assembly a supplementary report on the
car heating problem. The views expressed in
it are notably in accord with the conclusions
which have been forced upon the public more
and more strongly since the discussions follow
inc upon the late railroad disasters. The Com
missioners have satisfied themselves-or ma
jority Of them have done so-that the stove and
the oil-lamp must be abandoned, in the first
place; and, in the second place, that heating
the cars by steam from the engine or from
special cars is to he the method of the future,
while electricity will as surely take the place
OF the old-fashioncd illuminants. The details
of warming long trains by steam from the en-
CINE have not yet been practically worked out.
but for short trains the complete feasibility OF
tho process is already demonstrated. Practical
railroad mechanics, however, arc said TO be
confident that long trains as we'll as short ones
can be heated from the engine without seriously

MAKING CTVTL SERTICE LAWS A FdRCE'
The TRIBUNE has already pointed out some
of the WAYS in which the Civil Service law has
been violated in Brooklyn by the men appointed
TO carry it into effect. The testimony given
before the investigating committee has cstab-
ishcd that inadequate notice OF examinations
has been given repeatedly. that few candidates
presented themselves. because in many cases
the men to he appointed had been picked out
in advance, that five times as many eligible
lists were made up in 1856 rs IN the preceding
year. that men recommended by Dcnocrauc
politicians have got the lions share OF the
places. and that the regulation that all ap-
pointees. with the names of those vouchlng Tor
them. must be published was wholly ignored
until after il WIS certain that there would Ia
an Investigation. and then the ilimsy prcicnce
was made that the section in question had Just
Keen discovered" although eleven months
before the State Commission had been eN-
prcssly asked to abolish it.
When asked why there had been so large an
increase in the number Of eligible lists. the
secretary Of the Civil Service Commission sad
that there might have been good many rcsis-
nations "Rcmoyals would have been n bet
ter word. since al least one member Of the
Whitney administration insisted on having
written but undated designations from nearly
all his suborlinatcs TO be used. Of course, at
his discretion. But another reason for the IN
crease in eligible lists was not brought out
namely, that Of the men getting the highest
percentages only those recommended by iniiu-
entail Democrats were selected for appoint
mcnt. Again, Of the sixty-nine examinations
last year. thirty-onc were held on three days
notice twenty on two days and nine
on one days notice. VIII anybody pretend
that such notice is adequate, especially when
the notice was given in an evening newspaper
and the cxamina ion was at 10 o'clock the
next morning. OF course, only those informed
in advance could lie ready for examination
and the plain purpose OF the examination
was defeated.
All this makes it clear that, although off
Gals are expressly forbidden 10 take politics into
consideration in making appointments under
the Civil Service rules, tho entire Civil Ser
vice machinery in Brooklyn has been made to
work in the interest OF Democratic politicians
and workers The administration of the law
has not only been made farce but the law
has been nullified entirely. Mr.. Bac0ns com
mittcc should not stop where they are in this
matter. All the facts should be brought out
II the Civil Service law cannot be enforced
it ought to be abolished. But it can lie en-
forced. And it ought to he. The men re
sponsibe for these violations should not go
UNPUBLISHED. They may believe with Commits
sioncr Conner that the Civil Service system is
no good" but their business is not TO crit
icse but to carry out, the law. Their policy,
however, has been marked all along by shifts
and evosions, and they should be held TO-
strict account

| interfering with tho power OF the i2t0cr' ono
the number Of inventors who undertake TO
solve the problem Is so largo that selection
from their methods is the chief difficulty.
As to patent car-hcatcrs requiring fires under
or in the cars. no matter how inclosed, the
Commissioners arc of opinion that such ar
ranccmcnts cannot be Invested of danger. III
they are so solid as to resist the shock OF COL
lson they must be so heavy that In an
accident they themselves would be liable TO
crush the passengers with whom they came in
contact. All the improvements in heaters pro-
posed, in short, simply reduce the percentage
of risk, but do not eliminate it" This con-
sideration the Commissioners rightly regard
as fatal to any such modes Of heating. On the
other hand, the more the steam heating plan
is examined tho more practicable does 1t ap-
pear, while it is probable also that it will prove
more economical than any of the less effective
plans. Az the bill to prohibit the use OF
stoves and oil lights has already been reported
favoraby it might perhaps, if this became low,
be left to the railroads to determine what safer
method should be adopted Such course
however, would leave it open to them to put
in heaters of some kind, and while the extra
cost of the latter is against them, public opin-
ion in favor of steam heating seems so strongly
founded in the necessities of the case that the
straightest and surcst line to take is probably
that of directing the adoption of some form OF
this arrangement by statute. The public safety
and comfort must be the first consideration In
any event, and there can be no question as to
the wisdom of getting rid of the stoves and
lamps. and all analogous forms OF heating and
lighting

TIE RILL As IT is

The Crosby High-License bill was amended
In an important point on its final passage and
leaves the Assembly much stronger measure
than n was before this change was introduced.
The important amendment consists in the pro-
vision that If any person having license OF
the second or fourth class shall keep on hand
on the premises licensed any Intoxicating
liauors other than those permitted in his
license. he shall be guilty of misdemcanor
and his license shall be forfeited" This is
intended to meet the objection raised against
the bill that saloOn-kecpers might take out an
ale and beer license and then surrcphtiously
sell alcoholic liquors. Under the bill ns
amended such trick would be too risky to be
generally followed, and if the police do their
duty it would not be practicable at all. The
bill az it has passed the Assembly, therefore,
must be regarded as practical reform measure
which is well calculated to diminish the saloon
evil, and which may be expected to do what 1t
sets out to do, always provided that it is faith
fully administered.
Such bill ought to have the hearty support
of all true friends of temperance. and no Pro
hibitionist whose perceptions are not obscured
by third party Vaccinations and ambitions.
should fail to see in it an earnest of still better
things. No matter how firmly O man may be-
lieye in Prohibition, there is no conceivable
reason why he should not welcome every measure
which takes even single step in the direction
no considers tho right one. The success OF
High License must be distinct gain to tenn
perancc. It's defeat would unquestionably he
regarded as in the interest of the rumscllers.
The Crosby bill is not revolutionary. IL 1t
were it would never have made the progress it
has and there would be no reasonable hope
either of its enactment or. if enacted, OF Its
enforcement. But because it Is simply reg
Native and restrictive because it does not
aim at abolishng one of the strongest of human
appctitcs by stroke OF the pen because 1t Is
directed against abuse and not against use 1t
deserves the sympathy and support OF all prac-
tica-mindcd men who realize the enormous evils
Swinging from the ten thousand saloons OF
New. York. Such law is in the line of social
education and wholesome development, more
over and a few years of it must bring the com
munity much nearer more decisive dealing with
the drink evil. II is the best that could be
done at the time and in the circumstances, and
while its passage in the Assembly proves tic
GOOD faith and carnestncss Of the Republican
party on this great question, It's practical mcnS
ought TO command the approval Of all temper
ancc men. and it should be accepted 10y them
as indicating the only utilization in politics
which offers them assurance OF progress for
the future
